DJ Moore named trade candidate in Bears' move for $106,500,000 star as Ben Johnson looks to fill massive roster hole

DJ Moore has come up with some important plays for the Chicago Bears this season. The wideout has helped Chicago clinch the NFC North for the first time since 2018.

However, amid Moore's strong season, SI's Albert Breer has claimed that the Bears might look to trade the receiver at the end of the season. In exchange, Chicago coach Ben Johnson might look to bolster his defense by landing Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby.

Crosby, who signed a three-year, $106.5 million extension with the Raiders in March, has been in the spotlight after the team ruled him out for the final two games of the season due to a persistent knee injury.

However, Crosby was reportedly furious with the team's decision. After the Raiders suggested that their superstar DE might require surgery on his knee, Crosby shared an Instagram video of himself playing basketball at his residence. Amid the friction between the Raiders and Crosby, there have been reports suggesting the five-time Pro Bowler pass rusher might look to leave the team in the offseason.

Since the Raiders might look to draft Fernando Mendoza later this year, they might look for a wideout for the quarterback to work with, and Bears WR Moore might fit the bill.

While the Bears have looked solid on offense, they have had some issues in defense. Acquiring Crosby could tighten up Chicago's backline next season and turn the team into a Super Bowl contender.
